WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a treat to see a supermoon. But that bright glowing orb will still be almost full when the Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend, likely obscuring all but the brightest meteors in most locations. The Leonids are known for their high-speed meteors, which can travel at up to 44 miles per second (70 kilometers per second).

Skies are expected to be clear this weekend for the peak of the annual Leonid Meteor Shower. This shower may result in around 15 visible meteors per hour under ideal viewing conditions. The Leonids are known for high-speed meteors that can travel at up to 44 miles per second.

Another astronomical event could be visible in the coming nights as the second branch of the Taurid meteor shower reaches its peak.

It's shaping up to be a big week for skywatchers: two different meteor showers will shoot across the sky in the coming days, along with November supermoon to kick off the weekend. The Northern Taurids will peak tonight,

The meteor showers will reach their zenith early Tuesday morning and come just a week after the Southern Taurids peaked. The sister showers only produce around five visible meteors per hour under ideal viewing conditions.
